Flower Painting
How to paint free and vibrant watercolours
PAUL RILEY

PAUL RILEY’s flower paintings have a freshness and vitality rarely accomplished by watercolourists. His clear, bright colours capture the essence of a whole variety of blooms, and  this step-by-step book demonstrates exactly how the reader can produce the same brilliant results. His clear, direct approach ensures that the flower painter, even with little or no experience, quickly learns everything from basic materials to advanced techniques.
    PAUL RILEY’s approach is non-academic and emphasis is placed on teaching the reader to analyse the subject first - ‘look before you paint’.
    Both outdoor and indoor painting are covered, including setting up exciting compositions, dramatic lighting techniques, and how to achieve truly brilliant colours.
    Follow PAUL RILEY’s step-by-step instructions and your flower paintings need never look dull again!
     PAUL RILEY’s work has been shown at both the Royal Institute of British Painters in Watercolours and the Royal Watercolour Society exhibitions. He is also the author of Watercolour Landscapes (paperback £12.99).
